full disclosure i own a 3d printer too so maybe i am just projecting 
PSA for my fellow olds (over 30): Do not, at any point, put a wheel between your feet and the ground unless you've been doing it consistently since you were a kid. You WILL fall, and you WILL break bones. Your opportunity to take up rollerblading, skateboarding, etc. as a hobby has passed. Accept it and move on.
But for real, balancing is a skill that needs to be practised and regular exercise to strengthen your stabilising muscles is important to stay mobile in actual old age.
Ban cars! 
Oh wait, trains have wheels. 
Lol, I mean strapping a wheel to your feet. Cars and trains are a wheel between your ass and the ground. 
Rollerblading is pretty achievable, still, but I'm definitely not going in for wheels that are not physically attached to my body.
I broke my wrist rollerblading... If you're over 30, you've been warned.
Every now and then I consider getting back into skateboarding but then I wisely remember this.
On the face of it, this should be relatively benign: a video about designing and making an accessory for his onewheel. I started typing up a comment about that, but then erased it all when I realized what was so skin crawling about it:
This video is not about a hobbyist making stuff. This video is content. And every decision made was made with content in mind. Everything from his weird design choices, to his unnerving personal affect, to the cheeky call for mass production partnerships, is an artificial construct designed to keep as many people as possible engaged with it as a piece of content. It's a real person doing a real thing, but the artificiality of it makes it drop into the uncanny valley.
Because 3d printing on the hobbyist scale is a technology advertised to people who want to avoid the process of engineering.
probably because they are not production engineers, but just 3d printer hobbysts
The onewheel is inferior amerikrakkker technology the EUC is superior Chinese technology.
The onewheel has a weak little motor because they built it to comply with state of California ebike motor capacity rules for some reason, which means that it's totally possible to just outlean what the motor can put out at which point it will drop you directly on your collarbone.
My EUC has a much stronger motor, an emergency power reserve and software to keep me off the ground no matter how hard I lean.
Also it has an easy handle that pops up from the top so I can wheel it along beside me, making this guy's doodad totally unnecessary.
Why isn't that kickstand foldable? Wtf is that. That should fold out it's so ugly.
i laughed when the guy was "hit me up if you want to masss produce this", man there is like 3 people in the entire world that use that thing 😅
Looking it up, they don't come stock with a fender for the wheel on top and Redditors seem to want either no fender or magnetic ones they can remove easily for "sunny days"?? What is the appeal of a spinning hunk of rubber that can spray dirt on you and break your fucking ankle if you step on it while riding?
Cannot imagine the expensive skateboard made by techbros being safe at all. Only 3 riders left because the others died.
I am dying from the combo of flu and Covid vaccines and this video just gave me psychic damage. Thanks!
Print first ask questions later!
My designs are bad but I don't have a youtube channel.
i was trying to figure out why i was so annoyed but i realise if i had to do even 4 different printed revisions and also if his last concept was the best I had in me and ALSO if it needed to be such an exotic material to be strong enough i would think i finally have lost the plot. also he doesnt even add a handle to the other end and keeps the shitlord recessed handhold ?? and also can't figure out or envision making it a permanent fixture and makes it semi-permanent when the concept was originally meant to be as easy as a snap fit? and designs the snap fit in like 6 different shitty ways before changing the design in the most half assed way possible? and ,,,, 500,000 views?? this is your hero?????
EDIT: bad technophobic take I retract. pls disregard.
For example in my podunk town we got something called a "makerspace". On the surface level it seems harmless enough but I can't help but not like it, perhaps of what it represents?
A place that allows people to share expensive resources for their collective good? An environment for people to learn without investing hundreds into equipment? How is that a bad thing lol
Nothing really, but I’m trained to expect there to be a catch of some kind.
Grouping 3d printing and generative "AI" is a bizarre take.
Upvoting your edit lol
lol this comment gives me unabomber vibes.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
good bot
Wtf was wrong with the snap on design? How often are you going to take it on and off to gouge out the hole? The decision to use magnets was fucking stupid.
Wouldn't a backpack be good enough?
I hate that guy's channel
